Yingli Green Energy Holding Company Limited (“Yingli Solar”)
provides the following Limited Product Warranty and Limited
Power Warranty (collectively, the “Limited Warranty”) with
respect to its photovoltaic module products (“PV Modules”
or “Modules”), subject to the conditions, exclusions and
limitations set forth below.
1 L I M I T E D P R O D U C T WA R R A N T Y Yingli Solar warrants to the purchaser (the “Customer”) that PV Modules shall
be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal application, use and service conditions during a period of ten (10) years, beginning on the earlier of: i) the date such Modules were purchased; or ii) one (1) year anniversary from the production date (the “Warranty Start Date*”). If a PV Module fails to conform to this Limited Product Warranty during this ten-year period, Yingli Solar will, at its reasonable option, either (a) repair or replace the defective PV Module or parts without any charges, or (b) refund to the Customer at the current comparable market price of such Module, at the Customer’s claim.
This Limited Product Warranty does not warrant a specific power output, which shall be exclusively covered under the Limited Power Warranty below.
2 L I M I T E D P O W E R WA R R A N T YA. Limited 25-Year linear Power Warranty:
Yingli Solar further warrants that if, within twenty-five (25) years after the
Warranty Start Date, the degradation of the power output in the first year shall
not exceed 2.50% of the minimum labeled power output, which was originally
stipulated on the label of PV Modules; the degradation in every subsequent
year shall not exceed 0.70% of the minimum labeled power output. If the
power output decline, which was beyond the anticipated natural decline (as
set forth in the scheduled Power Output identified in Section C ) was due to
defects in materials or workmanship under normal application, use and service
conditions, Yingli Solar will remedy such decline in power, at its reasonable
option, either (a) repair or replace the defective PV Module or parts without
any charges , (b) provide the Customer with additional PV Module(s) to make
up for such decline of power output so that the total power out, which was
amounted up by the original one(s) and additional one(s) can equal or exceed
the value in Power Output Schedule, provided, it is feasible for the Customer to
install such additional PV Module(s), or (c) refund the di!erence between the
actual power output of the PV Module and the value in Power Output Schedule,
based on the comparable current market price at the Customer’s claim.
B. For purposes of determining PV Module power output, measurements shall
be based on, or normalized to, standard test conditions of 1000W/m2 irradiance,
25°C cell temperature, and AM 1.5 light spectrum. Measurements shall be made
in accordance with IEC 60904, and shall account for measurement system
error in accordance with EN 50380. Moreover, using the similar calibration
module as the type used by Yingli Solar to calibrate the sun simulator possible, and
conducting the power output test in well-known third party lab possible as well.
In the meanwhile, recording the Electroluminescence cell debris detection image
before the transportation and testing of the sample. The selection of the sample
and third party lab shall be determined by both parties to avoid any possible
disputes afterwards.

Revision Date May 1st, 2016
*Warranty start date: With regard to direct purchase without distribution, warranty start date shall
be the date agreed in a contract or the issuing date on the original invoice; In the event of resale
or long storage, there shall be a default grace period before the modules are installed. However,
the period shall not exceed one year after the recorded factory date on Yingli inventory records..
3 G E N E R A L C O N D I T I O N S , E X C L U S I O N S A N D L I M I TAT I O N S
A. In no event shall the warranty period of any implied warranties be beyond
the applicable warranty period identified in sections 1 or 2, above. Some
countries, states or jurisdictions may not recognize limitations on warranty
periods, so the above limitation may not apply to you. This warranty gives
you specific legal rights as a Customer, and it will not prevent you from
having additional rights based on laws, which may vary from jurisdiction
to jurisdiction. Neither seller of the PV Modules nor any other person is
authorized to make any warranties other than those set forth herein, or to
extend the warranty periods set forth above, on behalf of Yingli Solar.
B. Claims under the Limited Warranty must be filed within the applicable
warranty period for the Limited Warranty to be valid. The sales receipt from
the first Customer purchase, or other reasonable documentary proof, is
required in order to establish the Warranty Start Date.
C. The Limited Warranty is o!ered only to the original Customer and any person
to whom the title(s) of the Module(s) was transferred, provided that the PV
Modules remain installed at the site where they were originally installed,
(each, a “Claimant”).
D. The beneficiary of the Limited Warranty is the owner of the module(s), which
could be either the first-hand purchaser, which means the original customer,
or the final owner after transfers. It is to say that the Limited Warranty
concerns directly with the PV Module(s), which can be transferred and then
automatically gained without connection with the ownership of the power
station where the modules are installed or the transfer of the modules. The
Limited Warranty shall not revoke any indirect product liability and other
cooperating obligations during the sub purchasing process.
E. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE FOLLOWING
SCENARIOS:
The payment has not been fulfilled without acceptable reason according
to contract or after communication before the application of the Limited
Warranty services.
The Module(s) has been alternated, repaired or modified without the
expressed, prior written consent of Yingli Solar.

other costs, lost profits or lost revenues associated with the performance or
non-performance of defective PV Modules; provided, however, that for the
accepted warranty claims, Yingli Solar shall be responsible for reasonable
costs associated with transporting defective, repaired, replacement or
additional PV Modules from and back to Claimant.
G. Any additional PV Modules provided, and any PV Modules repaired or
replaced, by Yingli Solar under a warranty claim shall be covered by the same
Limited Warranties and terms as the original PV Modules purchased that
were the subject of the claim; no warranty periods or terms shall be extended
because of a warranty claim or remedy. Yingli Solar shall make commercially
reasonable e!orts to replace defective PV Modules with new or refurbished
